Celebrations, red cards, tears, and goals: Friday the 17th

Celebrations, red cards, tears, and goals went on when Kicks took on two of its group B rivals, AA and Siemens last Friday: Doom’s day.

1st Game: Kick ‘n Boboza VS AA Soccer Team

Kicks made its intentions of stealing the night very clear when they took on a well organized AA team. The much celebrated intellectual player coach Sir Little Melf started the game at the back with Ponkivic the rock-solid dreadlocked defender who was seriously protecting his territory like a Rastafarian protecting his weed from being stolen. Denverio was running wild in the midfield like a Capetonian searching for tik. Mcdinovic’s deadly strikes were placed up-front. The stylish midfielder Ru Mr Full-time no mistake and the sensational captain Leonardinho gave the backing from the bench. With such kind of combination it did not come as a surprise when Kicks gave the poor AA a hiding of its life by thrashing it 13-6. Denverio, Ru and Leonardinho got the back of the net on one occasion. One will ask where did the remaining 10 goals come from. Well look no further, Mcdinovic is the name you are looking for. This deadly goal scoring machine ran riot on AA as if he was told Carlos Santana was there looking for Bafana players for the next Mandela Challenge. 13-6 was the final score. Another happy smile on Sir Little Melf’s face.

2nd Game: Kick n Boboza VS Siemens

Immediately after giving AA a hiding, Kick ‘n Boboza was not given a time to rest, not even a minute to take on the fresh Siemens. Siemens was playing its first game of the night something Kicks fans referred to as unfair treatment from soccer management. Kicks put the whole drama behind and focused on fighting with all energy it had. Leonardinho opened the scoring with a long range shot and put Kicks up-front with a 1-0 lead. As if Kicks was playing for the first time Leonardinho combined with His Excellency Denverio and scored the second goal for Kicks. Siemens responded by scoring a goal. Kick’s stylish midfield Ru made it 3-1. The drama began when Siemens were awarded a penalty after Kicks goal minder of the game Mcdinovic was controversially adjudged to have handled the ball outside his line.

3-2 was the score when Denverio made it into the score list to put Kicks on a 4-2 lead. Siemens scored another goal to make the score 4-3. Leonardinho scored again to make it 5-3. Siemens were awarded another penalty and made it 5-4. Another penalty was awarded to Siemens but this time Mcdinovic saved it. The penalties and free-kicks against Kicks were beginning to get to Kicks nerves. However Denverio made it 6-4 with 5 minutes remaining. Siemens got back to the game and scored two more goals. 6-6 was the score when Siemens scored a controversial goal to make it 6-7. Leonardinho hit back with a goal to make it 7-7.

More drama…more drama unfolded after Siemens scored their 8th. Mcdinovic was eagerly on his way to score Kicks’ equalizer when Siemens’ bad-boy defender pushed him, the referee did not award a free-kick Mcdinovic retaliated and pushed back, before fans could know exactly what was happening all prayers were around Mcdinovic and Siemens’ bad-boy. The game was stopped for a while. Mcdinovic and the bad-boy were given red cards. Both teams were playing with two men in the field. Time was running out for Kicks who were desperately looking for an equalizer.

Indeed hard times call for hard steps Ponkinic was issued a yellow card for kicking Siemens’ player. With very few seconds remaining, Siemens playing the ball at the back in order to buy time, made a mistake of their life by making the goal keeper to hold on to the ball more than he is allowed to. Kicks were awarded a last chance to equalize through a penalty. Surprisingly, Leonardinho who is known for scoring best penalties did not have the guts to take the penalty not even Ponkivic had the heart to raise to the occasion. Denverio came out of his goal posts and made a brave step. Prayers were need from fans and players at the bench. Denverio became the hero of the night by converting the penalty into a goal. Tears of joy were rolling down on Sir Little Melf, fans, and players. Kicks 8 Siemens 8…. “What a game” sighed the undoubtedly Kicks’ number one supporter Abigail.
